`plan_journey`

Pack: tfl · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/plan_journey for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Plan a journey across London transport. from/to may be stop names, postcodes, or “lat,lon” coordinates. Returns journey options (legs, durations, modes). If a location is ambiguous, the API returns disambiguation options instead of journeys — refine the input or use a naptanId/coords.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`from`	string	yes	Origin: stop name, postcode, or “lat,lon”.
`to`	string	yes	Destination: stop name, postcode, or “lat,lon”.
